    Whether she's "laying low" or something worse. I have no doubt the CCP is behind it.

    She "wasn't forced per se but rather influenced"?

    LOL

    No, sorry I am not willing to say the CCP isn't stupid. They have murdered many of their own people and have made numerous massive mistakes. The ability to oppressively control people doesn't rule out stupidity. I view them similar to how I view almost any other government when it comes to the level of intelligence.... they have strengths and weaknesses.

    I hear a lot of CCP supporters bring up "Nazi" and also try to draw a strong distinction between the larger metropolitan areas and the more rural areas. It is just an observation.

    The CCP is evil, anyone that is the slightest bit objective will reach that conclusion. Also, the distinction that the CCP purposely blurs and is not understood is that the West doesn't hate the people of China, the West hates the CCP based on their actions and a complete lack of basic moral values. No, the West doesn't have to accept the values of the CCP nor does the West have to agree to do business with the CCP.

    Having said that, one of the flaws of the West is that it's leaders are largely motivated by greed, and with frequent elections the leaders take a short term approach and will likely fail to take as hard a line as they should.

    What I find concerning is the attitude that it isn't a big deal that she has been "influenced" to "lay low".

    This should be very concerning to people.... the CCP isn't the first government that acts this way, the Soviet Union at it's peak was similar to this, but it should still be something not taken lightly.

    But didn’t the other person just have tax problems ? Accusing a party member of rape is bigger than that

    The 90 million of those evil commie bastards will be wiped out at some point, you can be assured of that. Not by the West but by the 1.4 billion Chinese people when they are no longer afraid and rather die fighting this tyranny ******* of a government. It is better to go out like a human made in the image of God than to die like a dog in that apartment.

    I don’t know whether you’re living in China or not, but if you’re not in China, that is even worse. If you happened to live outside of China, people like you who have the freedom of speech should stop licking the boots of these commie demons. You have information at your fingertips, you know the history of these communists, Tiananmen Square etc... . Look in the mirror and grow some morals.

    This is what WinnieTheFlu fears the most: China will have more Christians than America in a few short years.

    i used to think that.

    but recent events make me wonder
    • the crackdown on HKers who simply want China to uphold HK's new constitution that was written by the CCP
    • the coverup/delayed announcement of the spread of COVID
      • this was a re-play of its coverup/delayed announcement of the spread SARS epidemic in the early 2000s
    fool me once, shame on you;
    fool me twice, shame on me.​
    • the silencing of strident Chinese citizens
      • billionaire Jack Ma, this female tennis player and others

    to say that CCP is not behind amounts to an insult to our intelligence

    Please, don't get worked up. I am not trying to change your mind, as you mentioned before that you've visited China a few times, therefore your experience made you better positioned to judge how Chinese people feel than locals do. I am just trying to offer some different views and first hand experience than those simplistic op-ed pieces put out by the media.

    Calling CCP evil doesn't help solve anything. Staying in denial to claim how CCP did everything against the will of Chinese people or Chinese people are up in arms waiting for US liberation to topple CCP ruling don't do any good, except for misjudging the situation. Arrogance and ignorance might make yourself feel good, but it doesn't benefit anyone in real life.

    It wasn't OK, and I fully support Peng if she sues the old creepy dude. However, I believe there is a difference whether there was force involved as claimed by the US media. The original post by Peng said otherwise, and that was my point.

    For anyone who's serious about human life, he/she shouldn't toss around numbers like millions or thousands just to "win" an online argument. With superior intelligence power by US, capable of creating "evidence" from nothing, except for broken stories from one or two individuals, no photos or videos available, that simple fact should tell you how shady that "genocide" of "millions" story was. Ironically, such "genocide" was never accepted and believed by any Muslim countries, and just happened to be discovered by "coalition of the willing" who just bombed and invaded other Muslim country on made up cause.

    The so evil CCP, what was the most evil thing they have done in the past 30 years? Now, you can think for yourself, do you really believe that they don't get the support of most Chinese people? Like I said, it's not the 50's or 60's any more. IF there were serious alternative option then, they might have been replaced. But after full speed development in the past 30 years, I don't see that happen any more. Does current good deed excuse past bad? By no means. But past wrongs don't give outsiders a claim that they are no longer legit to govern. Wiping out native Americans doesn't disqualify founding fathers from establish the great nation. As a party of slave owners doesn't disqualify Democratic party to be a big part and even ruling party from time to time. The nationalists were worse, therefore Chinese people made a choice 70 years ago. After seeing what happened in Latin America and Middle East, Chinese people probably would settle for CCP and hope they improve.

    As a Chinese American currently working in Shanghai, I hate to see serious conflict between the two nations.

    I think you are confusing people. Ai Wei Wei is an artist who was very critical of the government and was pro democracy. The tax thing was just an excuse to detain him.

    Shouting slogans and insulting others don't make you right. That's why I always say all people are the same. Chinese people have been there and done that. During culture revolution, that was the only thing Chinese people have done. I was born in China, and now I've been working in China for the past few years. I do have first hand experience and I sincerely encourage you to pause the slogans and insults for a day or two, check out Youtube or blogs posted by many western people living in China, instead of relying on your zero-journalism new media. Ironically, the so-called free speech liberal world normally accuse those relatively fair posters and bloggers of being bought by CCP.

    "You are either with us or against us. " Back then, I said the Patriotic Act had profound influence in America. Chinese people had first hand experience what that kind of attitude would lead to. The world is a lot more extreme than it was in the 90's.

    earth to real_egal, dispense w the sleight of hand,
    all these criticisms of china are about the current/ recent "wrongs", in the 21st century, post the Capitalism with Chinese characters era started by Deng

    • the crackdown on HKers who simply want China to uphold HK's new constitution that was written by the CCP
    • the coverup/delayed announcement of the spread of COVID
      • this was a re-play of its coverup/delayed announcement of the spread SARS epidemic in the early 2000s

    Real_egal to Earth, I have no problem with those criticisms. I only had problem with the made up fake “genocide”.

    I do not rely on the fake news corrupt MSM. You have a vested interest in perpetuating this tyrannical commie government because of personal gains. Those western YouTubers living in China are doing the same for their personal gains.

    The days of these communist heathens are numbered when in a few short years, there will be a quarter of a billion Chinese Christians.

    I am a fervent admirer and supporter of my Chinese Christian brothers and sisters. This is true faith right here in the face of death and imprisonments.

    Repent now or you will perish like those heathens that you are supporting.
